About This Trail

Imported description

Part of the park. The trail is between Wilderness Peak and Longview Peak. You can hike down a trail through a ravine. The trail is short and offers some great views of the forested areas. The trail is narrow in spots so use caution if you pass by a rider. This trail can be a good warm up. It is a good sight to take a minute to warm up in the sun. You can access the trail from the 182nd Ave cul-de-sac. Curbside parking is available if you want to go up to the top of Wilderness Peak quickly.
